We are delighted to inform you that the inaugural Asian Law Schools Association (ALSA) Empirical Legal Scholarship Workshop for Junior Scholars will be conducted via Zoom on 22 June 2021. This Workshop will be hosted by the School of Law, City University of Hong Kong.

The Workshop’s objective is to nurture junior scholars (including post-doctoral fellows and PhD students) who are interested in empirical methodology and to provide a platform for them to learn about the new developments in empirical legal studies. The Forum also hopes to increase the sense of community among legal scholars in empirical studies and to promote the application of social science research methods in legal research.

Enclosed please find a soft copy of the event flyer for your information. You may also refer to the upcoming ALSA events on the ALSA website at https://www.cityu.edu.hk/slw/alsa/alsa_events.html.

All interested junior scholars (including post-doctoral fellows and PhD students) from law schools in Asia are welcome to apply. If there is overwhelming demand, preference will be given to junior scholars from the ALSA founding members. Interested applicants may complete the attached registration form and send it to Ms Judy Xu at lwalsa@cityu.edu.hk no later than 31 May 2021 (Monday).
